Do you have information on how that compares to any given bottling of regular OG?

 

[mikecharley]

Commercially that we know of, I think so. We also wonder if it's part of the same lambic that went into Golden Blend. Like GB but missing a middle component since they were bottled on the same day.

Og golden blend and A&T were bottled on the same day and all...

Was A&T the first blend to have a 4 year component (ala today's GB)?

Can you ask if this will be the normal blend from now on?

I'm trying to contain my excitement until the bitch lands, but you fuckers can't even. I've been waiting a long time for this....

There will definitely be more releases/blends of it in the future.

Guess my real question is does this replace OG, or will it be some time before they can make enough in house to cover all the regular OG demand and they'll have to have both?

That'll be the million dollar question as they start to build up their own stock of lambic they brew on site.

Since I've only ordered online, does 3F OG sit on shelves anywhere in the U.S or is it pretty much non existent?

It has been sitting a while out here (750's).

Yeah and I'm still waiting for you to send me some.

There's plenty in Texarkana... Just need to bring your ass over.

I'm sure A&G is a delicious beer and all, but damn that baby poop green color they used on the label is pretty bad.

As a fecalpheliac I find it absolutely enticing.

Give me two weeks. Need to finish finals before I drive to Belgium to get some. But when I have it I plan to do a side by side with doesjel, og and golden blend

 

[wyatt1]

Throw in a golden doesjel too.

I think he meant in terms of numbers bottled/released

That's correct. Everyone knows taste is the least important valuation of a beer.

Ah yeah I see.
Me sorry English no good.

~9k bottles of 750mL's and ~20k bottles of 375mL.

1pp online, insta sell out.
yea, lambic has officially jumped the shark

don't worry though. the online shops will sell it again for a higher price and then rinse and repeat for a year.

FWIW, Etre had about 50 bottles of each size when I saw it pop up...

40 750's and 3 375's when I purchased at 7:36 am EST. So **** must have flown out the door.

Seriously?! I checked the website at 5:40 am MST and everything was gone

Same thing happened with the last release of doesjel though. The initial drop went really quick and then it sat around for some time on subsequent drops.

A lot of folks are in buy first, figure it out later mode. I understand... it is hard to resist when it is just a couple clicks.

I remember checking when I woke up before i jumped in the shower, that'd be about 5:45, and there was nothing. Then I checked when I let the dogs out and it was there. Around 6:15 or so. My reciept was marked at 6:19 CST and I remember it being like 50 of each at that point.
